mitochondrial dna offers unique insights into invasion history of the common starling.	mitochondrial dna (mtdna) can be a powerful genetic marker for tracing origins and history of invasive populations. here, we use mtdna to address questions relevant to the understanding of invasion pathways of common starlings (sturnus vulgaris) into western australia (wa) and discuss the utility of this marker to provide information useful to invasive species management. mitochondrial sequence data indicate two geographically restricted genetic groups within australia. evidence of dispersal fro ...	2011	21507095
invasive species can't cover their tracks: using microsatellites to assist management of starling (sturnus vulgaris) populations in western australia.	invasive species are known to cause environmental and economic damage, requiring management by control agencies worldwide. these species often become well established in new environments long before their detection, resulting in a lack of knowledge regarding their history and dynamics. when new invasions are discovered, information regarding the source and pathway of the invasion, and the degree of connectivity with other populations can greatly benefit management strategies. here we use invasiv ...	2009	19317845
